Ability to set the location of JFileChooser

Name: krC82822 Date: 11/20/2000


java version 1.2.x and 1.3.x

Please add the ability to set the location of a JFileChooser. This might be a
bug, but JFileChooser.setLocation() has no effect when
JFileChooser.showXXXXDialog() is called. This is becoming very important as the
popularity of multiple monitors is increasing. These dialogs show up on the
wrong monitor which is really anoying. Also due to bug #4189244 I am unable to
avoid painting problems by positioning the dialog away from the menu item that
initiated it.

A JFileChooser.showXXXXDialog(Component parent, Dimension location) would be
adiquate if setLocation() is not appropriate.
